 A Great Classic!!! December 24, 2008
Space Channel 5... This is showing what kind of great, unique games were on the Dreamcast. This is a game back from when SEGA focused on making good games instead of trying to win over the Western gamers with crap like Iron Man and other movie games. I bought this game when browsing for a good, cheap PS2 game. Well, I came across this little gem and bought it ASAP because I actually found it NEW!
Anyways, it was a great purchase and I just love these kinds of games. Parappa and Lammy both rule, and now, so does Ulala. Seriously, it's these games that caused the whole Guitar Hero and Rock Band fad. Check them out!

I first played this game when it was released for the Dreamcast, back in the day. I would play it all the time at my friends house, getting through the original game was a snap.
Found this version, which includes the original game + a new one added on for the PS2, and loved it! The new music is awesome, the characters are fantastic! And all the new features make the game worthwhile for the money. It has countless replay value to unlock tons of hidden costumes, items etc.
I think this is the most fun game I own. :D
 Space Channel 5... Not One of Sega's Best July 10, 2006

I am quite the Sega fan. I play many of their games, especially the Sonic series. For Easter of 2006, I got Sonic Riders, and enjoyed it greatly. There were many secret characters, all but one I knew. That one character was Ulala from Space Channel 5. Being both a Sega fan, and a curious person, I decided to buy it, from, of course, Amazon.com.
After about half a week it arrived, and I have to say, I was pretty excited. Reading another review from this website saying that it's gameplay was similar to Prappa the Rapper, I figured it had to be a great game. Much to my utter dismay, it wasn't. I gave up after playing the first level 5 times, and haven't touched it since. It proved to me much more difficult than it's 2-D counterpart.
The gameplay itself is not to hard to learn, you jsut press the buttons in the order the aliens tell you too, just like Parappa. However, unlike Parappa, it doesn't even show the order of the buttons you have to press, you jsut have to watch the aliens, and press them. The thing that really ticked me off though, was the timing. It seemed that it had to be 100% perfect. I don't get how you were supposed to do that if you didn't even ahv a guide. Being musically talented, this disturbed me... why was my timing so off? I guess I must be getting rusty. To sum, this up, the game's not terrible, but it's not that good. Go buy something better. Might I suggest Parappa the Rapper, or Parappa the Rapper 2?

This game is so much fun. If you feel down this game will make you feel uplifted. The dancing, music, and stages are great!!!
The better you play this game, the more exciting it becomes; people will sing, lights, more action......each time you play it might be a little different, if you mess up. If you do really bad, you won't get the best visuals/sounds. There is a code you can input so you can watch the game and get %100 rating. They really did a good job on the ps2 version of this game.

Now, if you're going to play the AWESOMENESS of Space Channel 5, first take EVERYTHING you've thought of for all other games and throw them out!
You play the sheik space news reporter, Ulala, who hosts her (dying) "Ulala's Swingin' Report Show!" While viewer ratings are going down, a new incidient might just keep the show on air!
Aliens are dancing, and forcing people to dance with them! You must face them in a dance-off to rescue the captured humans!
Sounds wacky, right? Well, it is! But it is the most fun and original game I've ever played! It has great music too, and you can rescue various instrumental players (such a guitarist, keyboard player, a saxaphone player, there's too many to list) to accompany you and spice up your tunes! And, trust me, there's tons more!
The gameplay is incredibly simple; you use the control pad as well as the square and X button to mimic the sounds/moves of the enemy dancers.
On disc two, lyrical battles are introduced, but the basic gameplay is just the same-you merely have to fire at the end of the lyric(s). This time, you are dancing against an enemy team. The graphics, espically at the cutscenes, are improved, as well as the music and voice qualities. Overall, a perfect finish, although personally I think the original enemny aliens are just too darn cute!
Plus, who can beat the price??? Honestly, two games for fifteen bucks??? GET IT NOW!!!!
